West Ham boss David Moyes responded to reporters last night when asked whether Michail Antonio will be ready to play against Tottenham on Sunday, as quoted by Football.London.

The 30-year-old has missed the Hammers’ last two games due to a tight hamstring.
David Moyes is in a tough position because Antonio is the only recognised senior striker at his disposal at the London Stadium.
Michy is so important to the way in which West Ham play and it is vital that we get him back fully fit and firing on all cylinders as soon as possible.
Our hopes of a top six finish this season could depend on it.
Next up for the Hammers is a home clash with Tottenham on Sunday. Three points against Spurs is a must with some of the tough fixtures that await us.
Michail Antonio will hopefully be ready for Tottenham
Our chances off beating Tottenham will depend heavily on whether Antonio is fit or not.
And Moyes responded when asked by reporters last night whether he thinks the 30-year-old will be ready to play against Jose Mourinho’s men at the weekend, as quoted by Football.London:
“I hope he will be fine for Sunday.”
It is a sorry state of affairs that we are so reliant on one man.
There is so much pressure on Antonio’s shoulders to remain fit. And that pressure could have been eased, had West Ham signed another striker in January.
It is what it is, however.
Hopefully Michail Antonio stays for for the remainder of the campaign. Let’s just hope that he is back and ready to take on Tottenham on Sunday. We desperately need beast mode activated from Michy. And what better place to start than Spurs at home this weekend.
